The MCP integration became easier to set up by documenting the OAuth path around xpenser finance tools.

This release came from PR #30 and is now part of the xpenser release archive. It gives people evaluating an open-source expense tracker a clearer view of how the product has improved over time.

What changed

  • Added MCP OAuth setup instructions.
  • Clarified how clients connect to xpenser authorization.
  • Improved developer-facing guidance for API and agent workflows.

Why it matters

Agent integrations need clear authorization setup. Documentation reduces misconfiguration and makes xpenser easier to test as an API-backed finance app.

Where it fits

This directly supports the personal finance API and MCP page and developer onboarding.

For a broader product overview, start with the xpenser home page. Developers can also explore the personal finance API and MCP tools, while self-hosters can review the self-hosted personal finance tracker page.

Start hosted, then self-host when ready
